In the eighth century AD, a magical "black water" known as Qahwa was circulating in Arabia, which was said to restore strength, vitality and no drowsiness.

Avicina Ibn Sina (980-1037), a 10th-century Muslim philosopher and famous Iranian doctor, recorded a plant from Yemen called Bunchum, which is said to be something similar to coffee.

As early as the sixth century AD, coffee was spread from Ethiopia (ancient Abyssinia) in Africa to the Arabian Peninsula. At first, only a few Arab monks knew its magical effect and were regarded by Muslims as the fruit of God.

In 1578 Abu Dar, a Muslim, Ambudar Kadry's book "Origin of Coffee" records for the first time the story of Omar's discovery of magical red fruit. Omar's hometown is Mocca in Yemen, Arabia.

According to historical records, tribes from Ethiopia and Kenya in East Africa invaded the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula in the fifth century AD and occupied Yemen for a century before being driven out by Persia, which is now Iran. East African ancestors at that time had already begun to drink a drink brewed from red fruits mixed with green leaves, and these African soldiers on expeditions carried coffee balls wrapped in animal fat with them to refresh themselves and increase their combat effectiveness.

Later, with the rise of the Arab world, the Ottoman Turkish Empire spanned three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. The Turks invaded Europe and passed on this magical "black water" and red fruit to the Europeans!
